Said of a machine that has the bitty box
nature; a machine too small to be worth bothering with — sometimes
the system you're currently forced to work on. First heard from an MIT
hacker working on a CP/M system with 64K, in reference to any 6502 system,
then from fans of 32-bit architectures about 16-bit machines.
“GNUMACS will never work on that dink machine.” Probably
derived from mainstream ‘dinky’, which isn't sufficiently
pejorative. See macdink.
